1 Chemical Lectinology: Tools for Probing the Ligands and Dynamics of Mammalian Lectins In Vivo

2 Figure 1 Recent Chemical Methods Have Begun to Elucidate the Binding Partners and Dynamic Behavior of Mammalian Lectins In Vivo (A) Metabolic labeling with crosslinking sugars can report on the in situ interactions between lectins and glycans. The black arrow indicates a covalent crosslink that has captured an endogenous lectin in vivo. (B) Glycoprotein mimics are synthetic, multimeric structures designed to emulate the spatial distribution of glycan epitopes on natural glycoconjugate ligands. (C) New tagging and imaging technologies for monitoring lectin trafficking and organization in vivo. Chemistry & Biology  , DOI: ( /j.chembiol ) Copyright © 2015 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

6 Figure 5 A Soluble Copolymer Engages Both BCR and CD22 Simultaneously
Glycopolymer binding reorganizes CD22 to sites of BCR activation and blocks downstream signaling. The CD22 ligands are composed of sialic acid residues, suggesting that sialylation may be a molecular form of self in mammals.
